15 days ago I found a snipe nest totally by chance. This morning the nest hatched. A dream come true. Like winning the lottery, only better.

Bjaen, Norway, approx 1000m above sea level. This is what areas of #Scotland and in particular the Cairngorms could, and should look like if given the chance. Full of wildlife, inc Bluethroats, Willow Warblers, Willow Ptarmigan, Meadow Pipits, Wheatear. #Rewilding

Here's some lines about tree-planting from Rackham's History of the Countryisde (1986) that are worth reflecting on.

Massive 11 hour day on the patch today. 61 species of bird seen and first orange-tip butterfly of the year. Shattered, but so worth it. What a banger of an April day.

[Luke Wake @luke_wake]

@silvbee Nah, April best by far

[Luke Wake @luke_wake]

April on the Endrick. You can't beat it

Juvenile Ospreys from the UK often make long sea crossings on their first migration, but reaching Barbados really is amazing.

@ChrisWade88 @KingsofAnglia @Stuart_Watson Oh yes please

[Luke Wake @luke_wake]

@CaraMhairiBell That's awesome

@RSPBLochLomond @RSPBScotland @lomondtrossachs My money is on chiffchaff, if not today then tommorow

[Luke Wake @luke_wake]

@RSPBLochLomond @PatchBirding Up to 85 now

[Luke Wake @luke_wake]

Some solid additions to my #PWC2023 list this am. Greenfinch, Jackdaw, Shoveler and Collared Dove on the list. The local long staying Snow Goose finally showed itself to me too. I thought that one wasn't going to happen after quite a few attempts to track it down at roost

[Luke Wake @luke_wake]

Surely only a matter of time till I get one @RSPBLochLomond
